The Source engine is a 3D game engine developed by Valve Corporation. Its unique features include a large degree of modularity and flexibility, an artist-driven, shader-based renderer, accurate lip sync and facial expression technology, and a powerful, efficient and completely network-enabled physics system.

one of the best engines that i have EVER seen... It seens that this is recent but actually its from 2002-2004... It has been developed along with half-life 2 (interesting fact is that hl2 started its development back in 1999, but by that time valve was still using the goldsrc engine)

old..but perfect :)
i agree that the textures do get blurred and unclear when you come close to em,
but exept for that...
nothing seems wrong with it :)
plus it's easy to mod :D

It is starting to show its age, i mean it was revolutionary for its time, but (well) over half a decade later, it really needs some work.

Despite it's age, the source Engine is an ever-expanding, fully functional game engine with many perks and capabilities that I feel make it an excellent choice for Game Developers and Modders. While it lacks some of the qualities that other Engines posses (such as DX10+ Support and Large-Scale worlds), Valve's continued efforts to expand upon the Engine to insure that it remains compatible and glitch-free are certainly one of the many reasons why for 6 years and counting, people from all across the globe are playing and modding the games blessed with the power of Source.
I hope Valve never lets go of this one. Great graphics, sound, effects, and online support.

Amazing engine, has done so much.
Too old, though, to compete with id Tech 5 or Crytek 3.
